I chose this book as the second out of the "Usborne touchy-feely books" collection I felt was worth sharing. The main difference to me between this book and the That's Not My Tractor book is that the object of possession is a living organism, particularly one that is commonly accepted as an object of possession, at least among many American households. In terms of the "stemming" prompts in this book, I came upon similar questions as with the That's Not My Tractor book regarding the touch vocabulary cues of "shiny" and "squashy". As I mentioned in a review for That's Not My Tractor could probably be used to make a correlation with the children that shiny objects are typically smooth. However, with "squashy," the associated section does not even feel the same as in the previously mentioned book, and I would likely prompt the children with a term more like "fuzzy" for that page.
